Aristotelianism is the most characteristic facet of the Alfonso de Cartagena’s thought. His two first original works address Aristotle’s Ethic: Memoriale virtutum (1425) and Declamationes (1430). He reveals himself as a scholastic and strong thomistic aristotelian. Cartagena judged that his mission as ambassador in Basel would be a good occasion to make his Declamationes public among humanists,specially his defense of the antiqua translatio from the scholastic point of view facing the Bruni’s attacks. During this mission he composed two works in which the use of Aristotle was decisive: the Tractatus super repetitione Ludovici de Roma (c.1436-1437) and an oratio against the most radical conciliar party (1439). The first one is unpublished. The second one is only known by the abstracts of two historians of the council of Basel, Pius II and Juan de Segovia. These works are a very interesting testimony of the uses of Aristotle in a crucial time of the ecclesiologic discussion about the nature of the papal power.
